Best Performer

Rob Kemp said: "Wow this is amazing! A nod from your peers, acceptance and approval from people you admire is a thing I have been chasing for some time, and will do my self confident the world of good. Thank you to those who voted for me, and to those who didn't, I will try harder next time (more blood! more plates! Everything, but more so)."

Referencing the fact he has been talking about the title he will parody next year, he added: "Beatlesjuice is just a joke though, I won't be doing that... okay, I might."
